A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 21

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

Harmil was the closest city to the 7th district that Selesina was responsible for. She spent a lot of time over the last several days at the family house in Harmil.

The night had passed and it was dawn. Light was filtering into the room………..Selesina was seriously looking at her desk.

“It’s already morning………… I still can’t decide…….”

Selesina lost her graceful way of speaking.

“Even though I wanted it done by today  !”

She had pulled an all-nighter and her shoulders were slumped.

This was her true personality so it couldn’t be helped. This was her personality in her previous life so it was a habit that couldn’t be erased. She had to live with it.

“I can’t decide on the name for the village! I don’t even have a good naming sense!”

In her previous life, she would often stare at her game screen trying to decide on a name for the territories or characters that didn’t have a default name in the game. 

She had a syndrome that didn’t allow her to decide on names.

If she was playing the game then it would have been easier but now she was living in the game and she had a village that was entrusted to her.

“I don’t want to choose a weird name……..!”

She pulled an all-nighter in order to find a cool name.

Selesina sighed as she stared at the table thinking about discussing it with Hisui.

On the way to the village, Selesina was massaging her face in circular motions inside the carriage.

Toi was happily watching her but Selesina wasn’t in a good mood. She had spent the night on the table so there were was a mark on her face. 

[Woof?]

“It’s okay, It’ll disappear by the time we reach the village……..!”

Selesina hugged Toi tightly and enjoyed the feeling of his fur.

“Toi, you’re so warmmm…..I want to just stay like this.”

Selesina drifted into a deep sleep while hugging Toi’s warm fur.

They reached the village soon.

Hisui called out to her ‘Lady Sele’ as usual but there was no response since she was asleep.

Hisui wondered why and opened the door to the carriage.

“…….Looks like she hadn’t slept because she was thinking of a name for the village.”

Should he let her sleep inside the carriage for a little more?

But he knew that she was excited to decide on the name for the village and harvest the potatoes today.

“Unn……..What should we do Toi?”

[Woof!]

“Ah! If you make such a loud sound……..”

“Nnn……”

Selesina woke up.

Hisui smiled as he watched her wake up and realized that it couldn’t be helped.

“Aaaa, I slept well. Toi’s fur feels so good…………”

Selesina let out a large yawn.

Since she was now awake, she had reverted back to her normal speech. 

Hisui smiled as he watched her and informed her that they had reached.

“……..Hisui! I, I slept off. Sorry.”

“No. Good work Lady Selesina.  Do you want to rest inside the carriage for a little while more?”

Hisui told her that it was fine but she nodded no.

“Today is an important day. Let’s go to the great tree.”

“Certainly.”

Hisui lent his hand to Selesina to help her alight. 

Anton came to welcome them immediately.

“We’ve been waiting for you Lady Selesina.”

“Thank you for coming to welcome me. Let’s quickly go to the great tree and harvest the potatoes.”

“Yes! All the villagers have been waiting!”

Since she had slept so well, she was full of enthusiasm as the walked to the great tree.

All the villagers came to welcome her.

“Lady Selesina! The potatoes are amazing!”

“This kind of harvest in this village is truly a miracle.”

Seeing the villagers so happy, Selesina felt that it was a good thing that she gave it her all.

“Shall we harvest the potatoes?”

“Please wait a little. We must do something before we harvest the potatoes.”

“Something we must do?”

Selesina slowly looked around at all the villagers. 14 of them were gazing at her with hopeful eyes.

She took in a deep breath and spoke.

“I wanted to decide on a name for this village.”

All of them cheered.

They seem to have been pretty concerned about the name.  Once the village had its name, they can also interact with other villages once they had a name and description.

“A name for this village……!”

“Yes. However, I haven’t thought of a name yet……”

Selesina lowered her eyebrows and the villagers started to give various names.

“Since it’s the seventh district, how about Nanahoshi village?”

“The village of Honey!”

“How about we use Lady Selesina’s name for the village?”

“Potato village!”

The adults were thinking hard but the children said the first thing that came to their mind. She smiled looking at that and soon started to laugh.

She soon noticed that Hisui was making a serious expression standing next to her. Just like the villagers, Hisui seemed to be thinking hard as well.

“Hisui, do you have any suggestions?”

“……..Selin. How about we use your name Lady Selesina to make a name for the village? Selin village.”

“Ba, based on my name!? That’s a little embarrassing though, wouldn’t a name that features the uniqueness of this village be better…..”

Selesina was flustered with Hisui’s suggestion.

She nodded no to tell him that it wouldn’t work but………Anton immediately called out that ‘it’s very nice!’.

The other villagers also nodded in agreement.

“Agreed! It’s a very good name!”

Odette clapped her hands and agreed immediately.

“I think it’s good too! Selin village sounds great!”

“This is village Selin!”

“Selin, Selin!”

The children also seemed to have taken a liking to it so Selesina could no longer say that she didn’t want it.

Hisui looked satisfied and it seemed like he wouldn’t agree to anything other than Selin village.

‘Using my name………looks like I have to be prepared to accept the worst’

“……….Then Selin village it is.”

When Selesina declared that, the great tree flashed brightly and suddenly grew in size. Brand new leaves grew and it was radiant with light.

The surrounding area was also bathed in light and the soil seemed to sparkle a little.

‘Yosh, I got a new skill!’

The act of naming a province is one of the skill acquisition quests.

The skill endows more blessings around the fields surrounding the great tree which results in greater harvest.

In other words, the number of potatoes that can be harvested will increase. This is why Selesina wanted to name the village before harvesting the potatoes.

Although it is dim, the villagers are hurrying to the sparkling fields.

“It’s the blessings of the great tree. I think the harvest yield would have increased slightly.”

“To think that something like this…………the great tree is amazing……..”

Anton looked at the great tree sincerely, bowed, and thank the great tree.

The other villager also followed his lead.

“Let’s harvest the potatoes!”

“Yes!”

With Selesina’s signal, everyone immediately starts to harvest the potatoes.

It’s amazing to be able to harvest your own crops.

They dug up the fields with great enthusiasm and harvested the potatoes.

In a matter of moments, the number of harvests needed to level up were collected.

The level goes up when you harvest 50.

She happily opened the Asgarl system.

Everyone was still appreciating the potatoes.
